The lifestyle is often missing from the modern day edit, just trick, trick. It has become the norm, the Aloha jam post earlier today reminds us of the “other side”. Romulo Guerra & Fabiano just dropped this really nice edit that shows their routine in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, “Velho” is Romulo’s best friend and he practice at Romulo’s home spot in the morning, and Romulo practice at night after he arrives home from his job. Refreshing to watch this!

Matthias Dandois – Street / Flatland
A couple of months back out of the contest season, Matthias Dandois spent a month over in So Cal working on a street/flatland part for Haro. During that time he took a savage slam which you can see first clip in which resulted in a big medical bill. So its safe to say Matthias put some work in on this edit, this was fun watch and the last rail is a beast! Balls of steel doing that, not to mention the rest which is nice mix of flatland and street, go watch it!
Dan Hennig – Far away from home
Dan Hennig made the long flight from Zurich, Switzerland to Hiroshima, Japan for the Fise contest. Really enjoyed this travel log style edit which also includes some footage from Lisbon, look out for the harsh slam on a ice-cream flip where the bar hits his face at 4:32. Dan gets the cream at 5:04!
Must Watch – Dominik Nekolny / One Take
Must Watch edits are normally edits that have taken months to film, thousands of tries on a line and so on. But what about the other side of the spectrum, contest riding? Everyone knows Dominik Nekolny is a contest machine and here he drops hammer after hammer in a one take run to see how dialled he is. The man is on another level, I respect anyone who can throw a flawless run but this off the chat difficulty back to back, heavy breathing included. I got totally sucked into this, and you all need to watch this too. Anyone who has ever “trained” for a contest will know the level of professionalism, discipline, blood sweat and tears to get to this level! F*** yeah Dom, respect!
Must Watch – Alex Jumelin / Mastering the Art of BMX Flatland
This new edit appears to have gone under the radar, thanks to Jeff R for sending this one in. What I really liked about this new “Mastering the Art of BMX Flatland” is Alex Jumelin seems to focus on just a few tricks and what he can do with them. Really powerful, I would also like to add this year has already been so incredible for Must Watch edits and I feel like I am giving the honours out weekly right now but this deserves it! The highlights for me are below:
00:42: Sliding Scarlo squeak bars crossed bar flip front scuff to nose jump xft inside steam shove it opposite foot steam boomerang steam out.
1:04: Rollback one and half flail to xft inside steam line.
1:56: Long g-turn to backwards nannie jump down to xft inside steam line.
2:16: And the banger of the edit! 720 nose jump to inside xft steam!!, execution is incredible!
Go watch this one right now!
Dustyn Alt – Freeze
Freeze from Grafox Kreativ Agentur on Vimeo.
Snow and flatland do not normally go together, in most cases this would mean indoor spot, underground spot or no riding. Dustyn Alt teamed up with film maker, Thomas Helbig to bring us this amazing “Freeze” production where Dustyn delivers some nice lines on the snow and proves the only limit is yourself. Motivating!
Giannis Caternellis – Balancing Activity
Giannis has been quiet a few weeks busy with easter holidays, which is most like him. Giannis hits us back with 8 minutes of footage, slow motion tricks style this edition. Plenty of rad stuff, so keep an eye out. Well worth a watch!
Sietse van Berkel – No Holds Barred
No Holds Barred – Sietse van Berkel from Halux Visions on Vimeo.
What a weekend with the release of Dub’s new banger edit, and we start a new week with some heat from one of Dutch’s finest! Sietse Van Berkel, unique style for miles and the spinning pedal packer line at 1:38. The whole edit was filmed in a couple of hours in Utrecht, Holland. Well worth a watch!
Must Watch! Jean William Prevost / Puro Flat #1: Winter
PURO FLAT #1 : WINTER from IGI BMX on Vimeo.
When Jean William Prevost titles a video “Puro Flat”, I am already intrigued as I hit the play button. The title implied to me that this would feature lines that Dub does not do in contests, would it live up to the hype that I have just built up in my head from the title?
“The PURO FLAT 2018 Series is my intention to stay true to the artform that comes through Flatland before simplification for competitions and all other forms of it may it be shows or whichever…this is just me and the camera for the sake of the artform!!!”
My immediate thought without even reading Dub’s description wasn’t far enough, and of course you have seen the Must Watch title so you already know this is a belter!
When a rider such as Jean William Prevost is at the top of his game its a beautiful thing for him to share with us all what he is capable of away from the contest light.
And boy does he deliver, I am on my third watch already before I start highlighting what I love about this edit.
1:06: I am hitting the rewind on this one, short and so hard and never been done! flip to gliding gerator or lard yard whatever you care to call it two footed rolling undertaker out. The execution!!!
1:12: The development of the spinning inside switch undertaker now into a line is just ridiculous. Wait for the ride out, total bike mastery. This might be a contender for line of the year already??
3:11: Multiple antrider turbines direct to the spinning switch b spinning undertaker to backwards wheelie, and the part i loved the most. Showing the realness, just kicks off the wall. So raw and uncut, personally loved that he chose to show that.
3:22: The last two rodeo lines are just absolutely out of this world, ok this might be the line of the year also. What the hell!
Like I already said it’s an amazing thing to see riders at the top of their game share the behind the scenes stuff they are working on. Everyone needs to watch this! Top marks, and another contender for edit of the year and it’s only April! Let’s talk about this one in the comments section….
Steffen Peter – About Last Winter
Always been a big fan of Steffen Peter’s riding, and he just come through with an awesome new edit filmed this winter at his indoor industrial riding spot. Beautiful front wheel flow and jazzy vibes make this edit well worth a watch!
